Wild Cards for 2027

So will Emil and Artem get wild cards for 2027?

 

No, I would assume not. Russia are still attacking Ukraine. In any case, do either of them want to do the GPs? Tied up to the issue of riding as a poles in the Polish league as well innit. And given there are only 3 wild cards, given that two of which must go to Holder and Bewley, that only leaves one for someone else anyway.

Bewley for sure, he showed last night that even when not 100% he can win races.   Sadly you have to assume Monster riders will get a pick, even if they have not done enough.   I am still not over the fact these people gave Woffinden a wildcard after his serious injury and relatively poor form for the previous two GP seasons,  ruining the opportunity for another rider, perhaps a rider with a long term future in the sport.

The top 7 are now decided and you can add Tungate Nillson Woryna and Lebedevs from the qualifier. Add Holder and Bewley leaves 2 places. The SEC winner is likely to be already qualified but there’s no entitlement for anyone rose from SEC to get a place so that leaves 2 picks. Not the Russians because of continuing contract terms so who else is worthy? Anders Thomsen maybe?

Lindgren? If he wants one, he should be in. He'd have been comfortably top 6-8 if he'd been fully fit all season, and is still entertaining.

One thing Tatum and his sidekick overlooked (perhaps not surprisingly) is that last night was probably Freddie Lindgren's last ever GP.  With Kim Nilsson in next year and no round scheduled for Sweden, little chance of Freddie getting picked.
